Hearing this, Nie Chen laughed dumbly and said,
"It turns out that sir has set up so many tests without my knowing it. Ming Zhu, Xiong Zhu, Xiong Xiong, these words are so flattering that I feel a little carried away."
"I'm just telling the truth. If you fail to pass these three tests, or if you come with gold, silver, and white things, then even if you chop off my head, I will not serve you, my lord.
I have lived in seclusion for many years, and it is really a blessing to meet Master Ming today. "
After Ouyang Ming finished speaking, he asked Xiaolan to remove the tea cups and other items, and then asked A Zhu to hold the lamp and spread a map on the table.
Nie Chen originally thought it would be a map of the Feng Kingdom, but unexpectedly it was a map of the world.
On this page, the grassland, Feng Kingdom, Qi Kingdom, Chu Kingdom, Sichuan Kingdom, and even some small countries in the wild land all appeared on the paper.
Ouyang Ming Heqi folding fan pointed the fan at Feng Guo and said,
"Sir, regarding our future development strategy, I would like to give you a few words of truth."
"Oh? Sir, tell me quickly."
Nie Chen became energetic after hearing this.
Why did he come to invite Ouyang Ming in person? It was so that he could have a truly powerful adviser who could point out his future development path, propose a series of strategies, and then follow that strategy.
"Sir, listen carefully, these mantras are..."
“Harmonize the north and conquer the south, connect the west and level the east, destroy the south and suppress Jing, and fight decisively between the east and the west.
Conquer Qi with Sichuan, conquer Chu with Sichuan, fight decisively with Fengchuan, and unify the world! "
Nie Chen looked at the map and murmured,
"Sir's eight mantras are really enlightening, but I'm still a little confused. Please help me clear the clouds and see the light of day."
"It's very simple, we just need to interpret it word by word."
Ouyang Ming pointed to the map and said,
"First of all, Weihu County is a place of four wars. This lord knows that it is located on the border and has a dangerous location. Although it is not a battleground for military strategists, it is a place where wars occur frequently.
To our east and south are Jiuyuan County and Hankou County of King Andong, and to the west is Jinchang County of King Pingxi.
To the north is the top of the bird, and to the northwest is the beggar's head. We are caught in the middle, and we have to be careful left, right, and front. This is not good.
So, the first step is to conquer the north and the south!
To the north, King Pingxi's 100,000-strong army relieved the lord's siege. I don't know what the lord's deal with King Pingxi is. I will ask the lord to clarify my doubts later.
What I want to say is that now that the Qiyan Department has been severely weakened, Queding Dingding will not let go of this opportunity to annex the Qiyan Department, right? "
Nie Chen nodded and said,
"Sir, you are really clever. It was only when I came here this morning that I found out about Queding's opportunity to launch a full-scale attack on Qiyan."
"Okay, then we have two hypotheses. One is that Queding failed, and the Qiyan tribe asked Wang Ting or the other three tribes to send troops to rescue and fight against Queding.
Then we can appropriately subsidize Queding, conduct business transactions with Queding, and let them continue to fight against the Qingyan Department. If they get into chaos, they will have no time to take care of us.
The second situation is that Queding annexed the Qiyan tribe and became the most powerful tribe in the southern grassland.
Then, we can have peace talks with Queding, but the basis of the peace talks is that we have to defeat them once, beat them so hard that they dare not invade us again, and beat them so much that they can only turn their attention to the royal court in the north. and three others.
Then, we negotiated peace with Queding. They went to the north to fight, and we went to the south. The well water would not interfere with the river water, and we could even open up trade.
Lord, remember, our strategic center is always going south, south, and south again!
Only the rich world in the south is our goal, instead of struggling with a group of prairie barbarians in the bitter cold north! "
Nie Chen nodded and said,
"I understand. We already have business relations with Queding. If we really negotiate peace, we can sell them some weapons and let them fight other barbarians."
"Okay, then my lord, please help me clarify my doubts. What is the relationship between you and the King of the West? Is it subordinate or equal? This is very critical and related to our future strategic issues."
"Well... the big boss I used to work with was my father-in-law, who was a retired general under King Pingxi. Later, the barbarians came to attack the county town, so we went to fight the barbarians. However, Liu Hu shamelessly attacked from behind, so my father-in-law fought. died.
After that, I became the lord, occupied the county seat, and fought against Liu Hu and the barbarians.
Later, King Pingxi came with an army of 100,000 men, fought back the barbarians, and helped me.
I must have been supported by King Pingxi. After all, he helped me when I was in the most difficult time and gave me a general and 10,000 horses. We are considered an alliance.
He said that as long as I don't betray him, he won't betray me. "
"Sent 10,000 horses?"
Ouyang Ming said doubtfully.
Nie Chen laughed sarcastically and said,
"I borrowed it, but I stole it."
"Oh, that makes sense. As expected of you, my lord, you are the only one who can do such a thing."
"Are you complimenting me?"
"Just take it as such and let's continue."
Ouyang Ming pointed to Hankou County south of Weihu County and said,
"After the north is stabilized, our next goal is the south. This is Zhengnan with the North Zhengnan."
"Isn't our main target King Anton? Shouldn't we fight eastward?"
"No, lord, our strength is still very weak, and we are not strong enough to compete with King Anton. We can protect ourselves and counterattack him. That is the third step. Let's talk about the second step now.
The second step is to capture Hankou County and open up the passage between Weihu County and the capital.
Hankou County is the territory of King Andong, and further south is Gyeonggi County, where the capital is located. It is also the only county not controlled by the four kings.
Take Hankou County, open up the trade route with the capital, and completely connect the capital with our two counties and the barbarians. Businessmen will flock to it. After all, we have reached peace with the barbarians for the first time.
The capital is the most benign place, and the passage connecting it to the capital has been opened up, and the benefits are too many to describe. "
"Okay, go on."
"Okay, then the next step is to unite with the West and Pingdong, unite with the King of Pingxi, and conquer the King of Andong. We can even try to unite with the King of Zhennan. No, there is no need to unite with the King of Zhennan. As long as our two families fight King Anton, he will definitely add insult to injury and take advantage of the situation.
After destroying King Andong, we will dominate the northern and northeastern parts of the empire. At that time, we will march south with King Pingxi, occupy the capital, and attack King Jingshan and King Zhennan.
Lord, in my opinion, the four kings are all rats, and none of them is a true enlightened master.
King Anton has a rat head and two ends. He looks forward and backward, and is difficult to make decisions when encountering problems.
King Pingxi uses his troops like a god, but if he is strong, he is easy to break. He will not end well.
The King of Zhennan is cunning and cunning, but has no upright spirit. He can only do things like roosters and dogs.
The king of Jingshan has great ambition but little talent, and he has a high vision and a low hand, so it is difficult for him to succeed! "
